Ninja man: Atsu wears mask in Black Stars training

In the modern game, It seems a player only needs to a get a bump in the chops before he reaches for a mask.

But this is not the case for Christian Atsu as he had a bit of fun at training on Friday JMG Academy, Dodowa.

The Black Stars midfielder trained wearing a mask as coach Avram Grant and his charges entered the second phase of preparations for the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Mauritius on Sunday June 14.

Atsu, key player for the Black Stars, will feature for Bournemouth on a season-long loan from Chelsea.
